Description
Tasting Notes: On the body I get natural tobacco and cola with vanilla notes. The foot is sweet cedar and rich tobacco. The cold draw is salty with dried apricot. The first third starts with cola, cedar, white pepper, toffee, vanilla and sweet cereal that reminds me of frosted flakes. The second third doesn’t change much but fruitiness is present. Wood, leather, cinnamon, sweet hay, and phantom flavors of violet. It’s getting toasty with roasted hazelnuts and peaty leather. The final third is sweet and buttery and salty minerals appear. There are florals along with a cashew-like creaminess. The cola comes back and reminds me of those gummy coke bottles that no one but me likes. lol.
Pairing Notes: Drink a cola (think RC or A-treat). Try a rum and coke with this. Eat gummy cola bottles an hour before. Cognac or aged rum. Peated Scotch. Dried apricots. Amber lager. After vanilla ice cream. Cinnabon. After red meat. HUGE SHOUT OUT to @tabacalerapalma Show these guys love so they keep letting me raid their vaults!! #weareprivada

**The ratings buttons don’t work. This is a 5 star stick**
This is becoming a favorite. Smooth draw, tasty smoke, lasts 2 hours if you are not a hotboxer. So tasty I am tempted to take a bite of it! I don’t get tastes like Brian, but the tobacco tastes nice. A little overboard on the packaging (see that sleeve!) but it wraps a great stick.
